SPECIAL GUESTS @ THE 2006 CIFF

Filmmakers highlighted in RED above are expected at this year’s CIFF. Many of them will personally introduce their films &/or conduct Q&A sessions after the screening. We have often found Q&A sessions very enlightening in the past, so we suggest you attend as many as possible.

FINAL NOTE

Since we are now “members of the press,” we have access to review tapes & special screenings. Therefore, we will be able to rate some films for you before the CIFF officially opens. We promise to enter all new information as quickly as possible, so you will have our input when making your own picks.

Although tickets for most of the special presentations & other “high buzz films” sell out quickly, tickets for foreign films & documentaries can often be purchased right up to the moment when the actual screening begins. So don’t give up! Keep checking this page with your own CIFF schedule in hand & we will do our best to guide you to some exceptional films. Go. Enjoy. Learn new things & see the world in fascinating new ways.
